“Staying here was our best choice and an amazing experience! The host was incredibly welcoming with a fantastic vibe. During breakfast, the atmosphere was delightful with great music, excellent coffee, delicious eggs, the homemade bread and sweets! The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained daily, and the surroundings were green oasis with clean pool. Very peaceful, relaxing quiet place. Matteo provided explanations and recommendations for dining options, attractions to visit, and beaches to explore. His restaurant recommendations were spot on, offering unreal dining experiences. But above all, Matteo and his well maintained place were simply outstanding.”

“The most amazing villa, with wonderful owners and their truly amazing team, made us feel like in paradise, our kids (6 and 7) were the happiest people on earth in this place.
It is an impeccable villa, brand new build in an authentic style, kept all the old traditions and love to the detail. You get fresh flowers in your room (melts my heart), brand new bathroom facilities (hard to find in Italy), freedom and love to kids, hundreds of birds, and you get served every morning freshly made breakfast. We didn’t want to leave, and if ever to come back to Puglia, only here.”

“Very nice Relais with spacious and modern rooms (brand new washrooms).
Our room had a balcony, looking into the yard. Fantastic!
Breakfast was made with love. Very nice cappuccino and homemade pastries.
Parking is on site without a fee.
What makes the Relais special is the people. Everyone we met was soo nice and welcoming.
Mario, the owner, is such a nice person.
We were glad to spend some time with Teo, who showed us around, meanwhile talking Italian, so that we could improve our italian. Many thanks to you Teo, with your kindness, you made our trip unforgettable. Thank you :)”

“Great apartment with all you what you need for your holiday. Sara was very helpfull and provided us with all necessary information. Very close are also all other facilities - restaurants (Al 76, L'angolo del pastore and Tratoria Al Filo d'Olio), grocery shop (A&O), fruits and vegetable shop, two caffes (Aurora and Park Bar). Easy to park in front of the apartment.”

“This location is not just another touristic place; Mario & Grazia have turned a magic vision into reality and offered to share it with the world! It is an architecture, ecosystem and services unique convergence, a lesson about how life could be lived happily. Try the home made food, it's excellent. Try the local wine they serve, it's great. Enjoy the wonderful garden, the animal community in the yard (worldwide variety), the peace under the sunset and the kindness of the hosts/staff.
You must discover yourself all these, it's hard to describe. If you want to eat out sometimes, without travelling extensively in the region, there's a very good pizza place in the next village (3 minutes drive) or the restaurants in Lecce, the next town. Beaches very near, lots of places to see around in the region, at 1-2,5 hours drive; the town of Otranto was the revelation for us.”

“Clean and spacious with beautiful terrace”

“The property is beautiful and recently renovated with quality and tasteful furnishings (eg double glazed windows) whilst maintaining the original character. Luciana and her team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to ensure we had a memorable stay - Luciana met us in person, showed us around the property, took my daughter strawberry picking, and provided recommendations for the local area. The breakfast was delicious and featured fresh eggs, organic beans, strawberries and home made jams from the farm. Highly recommended, we would love to stay again.”

“Best place we stayed in our trip to Puglia. We had the best time at Tenuta Calitre. Matteo is a wonderful, attentive and friendly host who made us feel at home since the arrival. He gave us lots of recommendations and also came with us to a local shop/olive oil factory to help us choose some local products to take home.
Breakfast was great with some local specialties, Matteo kept us company which was great too.
The location is great to go to the best beaches in Salento, also close to Otranto and Lecce for day trips. We look forward to coming back to this little piece of paradise in Puglia ❤️”

“Everything about this place is about beauty, quietness, nature and relax. During our stay, the host Luciana was extremely helpful and welcoming, and made us feel like we were part of their family. Beautiful room with very nice outdoor space, surrounded by olive trees, exceptionally great homemade breakfast, and all set in a quiet location, but close enough to the main village where all services are available. We would love to come back in the future if we ever visit Puglia again!”
